Even assuming more precise language could be included, ensuring critical elements of the Bitcoin ecosystem are not affected by the infrastructure bill, this volume illustrates the need for members of the Bitcoin community to continue engaging with policymakers in the coming year. As Bitcoin adoption continues to grow at an exponential rate, more situations will arise that require the Bitcoin community to speak up. Issues like tax exemptions de minimis are more likely to be enacted if Bitcoiners regularly give their voice on Capitol Hill and with local policymakers across the country. According to a 2021 estimate by the New York Digital Investment Group, 46 million Americans now own some exposure to Bitcoin. This represents an important voting block that is most likely single issue voters, giving the Bitcoin community the power to influence elections. If united, those voting on a single Bitcoin issue are likely to propose pro-Bitcoin policies across the United States. Many in the Bitcoin community maintain a healthy level of skepticism about the idea of ​​lobbying the government for positive legislation for Bitcoin. However, the recent exercise on infrastructure bill could be avoided if Bitcoiners make a more consistent effort to engage with policymakers and spread awareness about how the Bitcoin revolution works. . The Bitcoin community has the potential to fuel debate and drive adoption through political activism. The only question is whether the community will seize this opportunity.
